Research interests

My research interests are molecular mechanisms of plant abiotic stress response especially regulation of the signaling pathways triggered by ROS and controlled by protein kinases and phosphatases. I use biochemical and proteomics methods to elucidate the role of proteins involved in plant stresss response and characterise their interaction networks.
